By a single-judge order dated 02.03.2026, Justice D. Ramesh of the High Court of Andhra Pradesh at Amaravati allowed Writ Petition No.29137 of 2024 filed by Yedla Satyavathi, who sought a declaration that the respondents' failure to regularize her services as Nursing Orderly (M.N.O./F.N.O.) in terms of G.O.Ms.No.114, Finance (HR-I Pig. and Policy) Department, dated 21.10.2023 was highly illegal, arbitrary and discriminatory and violative of Articles 14, 16 and 21 of the Constitution, and that she was entitled to regularization with consequential benefits including arrears of salary. On the petitioner's counsel submitting that the issue was squarely covered by the orders dated 07.04.2025 in W.P.No.8827 of 2024 and batch, and the learned Assistant Government Pleader stating that the Court may pass appropriate orders, the petition was allowed 'in the same lines' as that order; the Registry was directed to tag a copy of it to this writ petition; no costs were awarded; and miscellaneous petitions pending, if any, were closed.
